🌟 Fun Fact: Did you know that K-Pop and K-dramas, which are super popular today, come from Korea? Well, dive in and let's explore Korea in the 1950s.
Popularity and Politics 🎞️
- By the end of his 2nd term, President Truman's popularity had tanked, mainly because of the Korean War.
- Despite wanting a 3rd term, he couldn't get past the primaries.
- The door was opened wide for Republican Dwight Eisenhower who roasted the Democrats with 'Korea, Communism and Corruption'. Cute shorthand: K1C2! 🍿
Integration in the Army 🌈
- A historic move: the Korean War saw the US army not racially segregated.
- The official end of racial segregation in the army: 1948.
- Implementation was sloooow 🐌. Black soldiers could fight alongside white ones in the US Marine Corps only by 1952.
- Impact: This spurred the civil rights movement in the US during the 1950s. Just think of Martin Luther King Jr.'s iconic "I Have a Dream" speech a decade later!
Nuclear Weapons Drama 💥
- Why no nukes in Korea? Fear of a catastrophic World War III.
- Gaddis' view: Nuclear weapons were too powerful to use but without them, the Korean War would've escalated.
- Mao's take on the A-bomb: "Paper tiger." Looks fierce, but... 🐯🧻
- Khrushchev’s clapback: Mao's just scaredy-cat of war.
- Eisenhower's shade: The Soviet leadership must be super scared because the US had waaaay more nukes.
